I just saw the reviews to this place and I find it funny how everyone had something to say about the car wash, it's a gas station in the end not a car wash station, 3 guys aren't going to rush out to your car and wash it. I have been coming to this shell usually at nights for quite some time and for 2 main reasons. One is I need gas and two because John is excellent with customer service. Those are what need to be evaluated at a gas station. He is always energetic and polite. There is another shell by my house but I like this one. Thank you John it is do hard to come across a great employee these days read more

The car wash didn't work and they didn't want to refund my money! The girl who works here was so rude! When I told her what had happened, She didn't want to call a manager or do anything even tho it was their car wash that took my money and stopped working. Such a ripoff!!! As I was there explaining another customer walked in with the same situation. Waste of my time and money!!! I will never come back here again! read more

Twice now, over the course of 6-8 months my credit card number has been stolen here. For your own sake, don't swipe your card at the pump. Unless of course you like the hassle of cancelling your card and dealing with that headache. The gas is fine, but they lost my business. read more

Beware of this gas station! If anything goes wrong they blame you and say it's not their problem! I followed all of the directions at the car wash, my card was charged, it said approved and yet nothing happened when I had the green light to go in! When I asked the attendant she didn't even look at the machine or the records she just said there was nothing she could do and the machine was working fine (basically calling me a liar). She said I can dispute the charge with my bank. Way to pass the buck! Bad business practices all around! Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else! read more

This is THE WORST Shell gas station! For the last two years I have faithfully purchased gas and used their car wash. This time while using their car wash, the customer ahead of me screwed up the machine by leaving before the wash cycle ended and then reversed back into the wash which screwed up my cycle before it even began. I immediately told the cashier, older man, what had happened and he just shrugged it off. Said it was my problem. I then showed him I had just paid for the wash and my car was still dirty. He didn't care. Said take it up with your bank. I work in the customer service industry and this is the fastest way to get someone to never come back and tell their friends to never go there as well. ZERO STARS. People need to rally together and put these types of businesses out of business! Reporting them to the Better Business Bureau!! read more

I have been coming here for years now. This 1 star is for the clerk named Claribel. She is the rudest ever.

This place is pathetic! We waited in line for over half an hour. Went in it sprayed water once on our car and that was it. It malfunctioned without any soap or dryer at the end. We kept on honking and the two attendants didn't bother to come out. There was no phone number on the receipt or posted there too to get help. I was irrately speaking to the attendants (Manuel and Walter) who didn't care to accept that it malfunctioned. They were watching the live video and refused to rewind the dvr recording so that I can view and prove to them. All this while being late to a wedding and ruining our day. The just offered to give refund or another code. Our car was dirtier than we started with. Such lack of customer service. Losing my business. He took my name and number to apparently investigate the issue. I doubt Shell will be calling me. They need to have better service and resources available for malfunctioning equipment. So now te second time around, it malfunctioned and we've been in line for over another half an hour. The attendants are now in the car wash trying to fix it. It really malfunctioned several times. Pathetic! Next time a customer complains, believe them! So next time around the attendant had everyone in line just leave and give a refund to everyone sine it malfunctioned. Thanks for ruining our day!!! read more

Shell - Gas Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

Thieves. If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. I live around the corner and have given this gas station my business for over a decade, but after today I will never go there again. I paid $9 for the car wash, drove my car into the car wash and the machines never started up. I wasn't particularly upset, I mean I figured "Oh well the car wash isn't working so I'll give her my receipt, get my money back and go elsewhere". I went in to talk to the clerk (Mari-something, Maricela? Marisol? can't remember) - politely showed her my receipt and told her what happened... she immediately became very snappish, rude and defensive. First she couldn't help me if I "didn't have a receipt" (after I had already shown her my receipt), then she couldn't help me because she "needed to see my car" - I said "my car is sitting in the car wash". Then she came out to the car wash to look at my car and yelled at me "You have made a mistake! You are doing something wrong!" Believe it or not, I was still really calm, I figured "OK this one is having a really bad day" so I said "No I didn't make a mistake, the car wash isn't working, so why don't we go inside and you just refund my money?" We went back inside and she REFUSED to give me my money back! Instead she snapped me "You come here tomorrow at 8 AM and talk to the manager" No amount of calm reasoning with her would get her to budge. She gave me a phone number that was supposed to be for the manager, and I called it right there on my cell phone and it was not a working number. When I told her "this number is not working" she just snapped at me again "You come here tomorrow at 8 AM and talk to the manager". There's no way I'm bothering to get up at 7:30 Saturday morning to go over to this gas station and argue with the manager over $9 - and I think they know that. When I told my husband the story, he said he had been in the same gas station last week and seen another guy standing at the register arguing with "Mari" over the same thing.

I am sitting in the car wash line a second time because the car wash indicator lights weren't working correctly and the signs posted aren't very clear. At least they warn you that you will more than likely lose money using their car wash. read more

This place deserves ZERO stars! I paid, it told me to drive forward, I did, told me to back up, I did. I looked back and the water was spraying in an area where the car is not even at, for about 30 seconds. I know how to use a car wash! I followed directions and it took my money and I still have a dirty car! I went in to talk to the cashier, he said he saw what happened and refused to do anything about it. RIP OFF! read more

I would give them zero stars, but that is not really an option. They're customer service is non existent. There were 2 workers, but none could actually perform their jobs. Problem one of several: the car wash. We waited to pay the machine until after the car in front of us was done (as directed by the sign) and our payment was accepted, but when we pulled in the car wash, it never started. When talking to the employees, they told us unapologetically that there's nothing they can do. They would not issue a refund or give us a car wash. They said we should have read the sign and followed directions. When we told that we did follow the directions, they told us it wasn't their problem. They have certainly lost my business. read more

She'll gas service is not good. Came to use car wash and car wash didn't work. Gas says all sell are final. Save your time and money.

I had almost the exact same experience as Art N below. The car wash rips you off totally! Usually there's a line of cars for the car wash on the weekend & you feel pressured to hurry through the wash because everybody is in such a hurry anymore, so the last thing you're going to do is read their chicken scratch signs telling you exact change only when you're paying cash for the wash. The cash machine will not dispense change & neither will the attendants. And this for a crappy wash that won't dry your darned car so you leave there with water spots all over. The best way to put a stop to the rip off is to put the word out there and don't give them anymore of your business! I know I won't!!! read more

If there is an option for minus 1 star, I would have chosen it. I had a horrible experience at this gas station with the lady cashier. I paid for a car wash and never got my car wash. The green light indicated drive forward but there was never an indication for my car to stop. So I slowly inched forward but in no time, my car was spit out of the car wash. In other words, I did not get the car wash...and after a long wait for my turn too. The cashier refused to refund my money and said repeatedly (with a smirk) that I was the one that made the mistake of not stopping. She needs to wipe that smirk off her face when addressing a concern a customer has. No soap nor water was used on my car and therefore, its only right that I get my refund. Not only that, the cashier is very disrespectful. Needless to say, I will NEVER ever go back to this horrible place with horrible customer service. read more

The employees are rude and have been trained to be rude. They don't care about customers. Wife had a problem with car wash, they didn't reimburse her or give her a wash. I attempted to have my car washed a year later and the same thing happened. Do not attempt to use the automated car wash. Employees just say, " read the sign" until you get upset and then they give you a number to call if you have a problem. I repeat do not use the car wash! Just gas up and be on your way or better yet just stay away! No mistake on why they have 1 star!!!! read more

Ok prices. Car wash is broken a lot but when it works it's good. The staff on the other hand is the WORST. Rude and could care less about your experience read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Worst car wash ever, horrible service and the thing never works. They always decrease the drying time to cheat you out of your money and they never fix or repair their machines. I've had multiple incidents where I paid and it didn't work, make sure you take your receipt every time because they will not refund or try to help you inside. I just paid for the $11 wash with undercarriage and again the undercarriage washer is off and then lower doesn't come down to dry my car. Never coming here again. My car is still washing as blower starts read more

Worst shell gas station ever!!!!! I only use shell gas stations so I went to this location on 12/05/14. I always put the pump in and wait in my car without a problem. well at this place the gas started leaking through two holes in the pump when I noticed I tried stopping it but gas kept coming out and spilled everywhere. I let the employee know the problem and he said he couldn't do anything till the manager came in I've been trying to go In or call to speak to manager and two weeks later and she still hasn't returned my calls. Waisted $33.10 of gas that spilled n even though the employee seen the problem they have done nothing about it!! read more

When I came they have an auto car wash on site. I hesitated to use their carwash after my gas fill up so I went to teller to refund my money. The teller was like no we cannot refund your money.I am driving a brand new sienna with no scratches. After using their carwash, i got significant scratches all over the body. $hitty place i will never go back again here! read more

This Shell station is convenient from where I live, so I frequent it for gas every so often. While it is affordable for its location, I have to say that its car wash is sub par for what I paid for. It did not remove water or dust stains, and in fact made my car look dirtier. I don't even know how that's possible. It's also typically so crowded since the Arco across the street is more cash-friendly. Again, I frequent this station simply for convenience and affordability, but probably not ever again for car washes. read more

Decent drive through car wash. The gas is too expensive though. When pressed for time it's convenient. You can pay at the car wash too. The problem is right now the car was machine isn't accepting credit cards or cash yet the sign says it's not accepting credit cards. Now there's a cluster fudge of people sitting here not knowing what to do! read more

Been here three separate occasions and the pumps have not been working. It's like they don't want to see gas. Go across the street to the Arco station instead. read more

I went to get the Shell car wash, paid at the machine with my credit card after waiting 20 minutes, and failed to print a receipt. The car wash didn't work, and the cashier refused to give me a refund stating "if u didn't print a receipt, I can't do nothing." Very frustrating... read more

Pathetic, just pumped 69.80 gas and asked for OUTSIDE bathroom key , the clerk told me " They said when the store door is closed , they can't give the bathroom key " well here is a review to let " they " know they need to be more attentive to their clients . read more

Because 0 stars is not an option. Train your cashiers or hire others. I paid for a car wash using my credit card and the wash never started, even though my card was charged. Long story short, the cashier was pretty much calling myself and another lady who experienced the same issue, liars. All he had to say was that the carwash is working and we didn't know how it works! He then started educating us on how a simple car wash with 3 lights works. Walter, the manager, was a nice guy and tried to salvage the situation but it was already too late. He gave me a coupon for a wash but I decided to just drive away. As we were talking outside, another customer experienced the same issue. The cashier's response to me? It isn't broken, it is working. AMAZING! Take your business elsewhere! read more

**WARNING** if you're a woman you will most likely get talked down to from the employees. All of the male employees here are Chauvinistic pigs . The car wash machine was not working properly and instead of providing customer service the two disrespectful employees working there decided to pick on me in front of other customers. Saying that I did not know better nor did I put in the right amount or code and that I didn't drive in properly however yet to their knowledge I did and they did not review the camera all they saw was the car wash was working again but when I went into it it was not. Thus I went in and complained. I did not need the second employee that was not on the clock to talk to me yet behind the counter he was talking down to me in front of other customers making me feel uncomfortable and showing just much of a pig he is. I will never go to shell gas station again even if I was running out of gas and there is no other place, I rather be stuck rather than giving shell gasoline my money so they can just provide these pigs with an income for no good reason but a horrible work ethic. read more

See all

The teller was a Latino girl not very friendly. I asked to use my reward points. She hesitated. I had none so I asked her to please let me use my she'll reward points since it's their reward points I expected a little more customer service. She rolled her eyes at me and said she can't try both next time. I bit my tongue and I really wanted to call her out so I complained about the outside payment teller situation how it sucked and that's why I had to come in and face her ugly as face in the first place. B--ch! Not going back there F U. I don't need anyone rolling their f---Cken eyes at me. read more

Manuel doesn't give a fuck! This place sucks! Car Wash doesn't work, this dude always says I'm wrong and to call some dumbass number that doesn't even help. read more

Do not get a car wash here, they will not give you a refund even if the the machine is out of service all of sudden after you paid!!!! This car wash place will rip you off!!!!!! read more

Warning Do not take your car here, it is my first and last time that I will ever take my car for a car wash at this location, their unit stopped working I went inside to tell them, the worker was not helpful at all, he said they can't do anything about it, fine I understand... But he said he can't return my money, and made a remark about how I drive a nice car so I shouldn't CRY about $9... Are you kidding me, what a way to talk to a costumer. So now my car has soap spots all over and worst costumer service ever. read more

Prices are good here. Had no problems using the car wash

Terrible employees who tell you their drive they car wash works when in reality it's completely messed up and leaves your cars exterior completely stained read more

just a regular gas station but the workers were not really friendly. I got what I needed and I was out.

I love the fact that i can use my Ralph's rewards card to earn savings on gas prices! ( you save 10 cents per gallon by using your Ralph's card). The gas prices are decent. The car wash is a rip off. Literally! i used it this past week and it ripped off my side view mirror in the process of cleansing my vehicle. not cool man. not cool. read more

I concur that customer service for the car wash is horrific.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced at a gas station, and that is saying a LOT. Terrible angry and lazy attitude from everyone here. Avoid this station at all costs!!! No reason to go here EVER read more

Like the others before me. This car wash system needs a serious upgrade. Wasted my money here and the attendants are useless.

STAY AWAY FROM THE CAR WASH!!!!!!!!!! I payed with my debit card and my information was stolen! I had a fraudulent transaction on $1300! Pay with exact cash don't use any cards read more

Went for a car wash and followed the instructions and stopped where I needed to stop. The machine started working then immediately stopped after 10 seconds. I called the cashier from my phone and he told me to get out of the car wash and come inside thinking he was going to help me. Instead he said that "I jammed the machine and was driving too fast" ..so much for not pointing fingers. I told him ok maybe I didn't understand the instructions all the way can I try it again or get a refund. He firmly said "No" and that I have to pay again if I want a car wash...while the lady behind did the same exact thing and he assisted her in getting another car wash while I was pumping gas. Cashier name was Manuel...lookout for this guy. read more

BEWARE!!!!!!! I wish I had read the HORRIBLE reviews of this place before I came to get gas & use the car wash for my small truck on July 1, 2018. I was told that the car wash could take small trucks by TWO employees so I paid for a car wash along with my gas. As I pulled in to the line for the car wash, I saw a sign that said "no trucks", so I pulled out of the line and went in to ask for a refund. The girl at the counter said they don't give refunds and reassured me that they have many bigger trucks than mine that do fine with the car wash. I didn't want to be out the money for the car wash that I paid, and hesitantly gave it a chance. As I pulled in to use the car wash, the apparatus came down on the side of my truck and got wrapped around my side mirror and pulled it completely off. While it was entangled in the cloths, it began scraping and scratching the side of my vehicle. It was frustrating being inside my vehicle listening to this while it was happening. I couldn't move forward (for fear of more damage) and just had to wait it out. As soon as I got out of the car wash I ran in and told the girl at the counter what had happened. She had witnessed the situation on surveillance and immediately tried to reach the manager. I went in and retrieved my side mirror which was scratched and broken at the bottom but the mirror was unscathed. The girl was unable to reach the manager so I left my phone information, took pictures of the incident, and waited for him to call me back. Two days passed and I had still not heard from the manager, so I called again and left a message. I then figured I'd better take this up a level and contacted the Shell customer service line. They told me to send them a receipt, pictures of the damage, and an estimate for repair. Since it was near the 4th of July holiday, I didn't get the estimate until July 5th which totaled $1,700!!!! I physically went to the Shell station and gave my information to the manager (Walter), and also sent the info to the Shell Corporate office. Well...it's been over a MONTH, and NO ONE from Shell has contacted me. Every bit of communication has come from my initiation. I was told by their corporate office customer service group that they have a 3rd party claims dept and there is no way I can contact them directly and all they can do is ask them to call me. WHAT A SCAM!!! I have been a Shell customer ever since I started driving, but after this incident, I am taking my business elsewhere. Shell makes a TON of money, and yet they are HORRIBLE to their customers. read more
